Palin was asked about the Bush Doctrine. There is no such thing as a Bush Doctrine.

She asked the questioner to refocus the question and he refused, sensing a gotcha moment.

The media ran with this,

At times visibly nervous . . . Ms. Palin most visibly stumbled when she was asked by Mr. Gibson if she agreed with the Bush doctrine. Ms. Palin did not seem to know what he was talking about. Mr. Gibson, sounding like an impatient teacher, informed her that it meant the right of 'anticipatory self-defense.' "

-- New York Times, Sept. 12

This of course was a joke. There was never a single reasonable definition of "Bush Doctrine".

That was part of the dismantling of the Opposition to Obama.

Vice President Dick Cheney, in a June 2003 speech in which he said, "If there is anyone in the world today who doubts the seriousness of the Bush Doctrine, I would urge that person to consider the fate of the Taliban in Afghanistan, and of Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq."

Confirmed and vindicated.

20,000+ posts. All in search of vindication.

How often does your wife complain about your tiny *****?

I wonder how many of those 20,000 posts were of the "if you don't agree with me, you're an idiot" variety. Probably more than is reasonable.
